ST. PETERSBURG -- As you may have gathered from his postgame victory tweets, there is no Yankees player with a more relentlessly positive disposition than Didi Gregorius, which is why the shortstop showed some spring in his step while he observed early batting practice on Monday at Tropicana Field.
Though an MRI revealed that Gregorius sustained a cartilage tear in his right wrist on Saturday at Yankee Stadium, diving into home plate to score the walk-off run that clinched New York's postseason berth, Gregorius said he believes he will be able to play before the regular season concludes.
"I feel way better," said Gregorius, who received a cortisone injection on Sunday. "It's a big improvement from yesterday to today. I'm feeling stronger. I'll get some exercises in and wait to see what's going to happen. ... I said the same thing yesterday; I said I'll be ready to go before the season ends."
